Croxdale Railway Viaduct and its 11 arches take the East Coast Main Line across the River Wear. Built in 1872 under the supervision of engineer Thomas Harrison, it is 75 feet (23 m) high and is built from brick. The Weardale Way, a 73-mile (117 km) long-distance trail that follows the river to near its source at Wearhead, passes close by.
